The reason Elder Tang Myeong-shin treated and detoxified the survivors of the Heavenly Demon Church was, of course, in order to make contact with the Heavenly Demon Church through them. I wanted to convey that there was an intention to surrender on this side, and, if possible, to find out what kind of things each side wanted and could exchange.
However, will the Heavenly Demon Church really consider their surrender sincerely? They may think of it as a well-designed trap. I thought there was a bit of a lack of progress.
“Elder Lee.”
Geonjeongdae soldiers guarding the road leading to Seojang captured a group of people and brought them in. Although all of them were dressed as commoners, Tang Myeong-shin recognized at a glance that many of them had learned martial arts. Even in small movements such as walking, I felt that I had mastered martial arts, and I felt that I had achieved some degree of inner strength through my sense of energy. In particular, the most outstanding one was the old man who seemed to be leading the group, and it looked like he had already mixed hands with Geonjeongdae. Judging from his distressed appearance, he seemed to have suffered internal injuries or been poisoned.
Tang Myeong-shin opened his mouth, feeling that the face of an old man who seemed to be of similar age to him was somehow familiar.
“Who are these?”
“We subdued the suspicious people as they were trying to cross the police station to avoid our surveillance. Although they claimed to be merchants, their martial arts skills and the fact that they were a mix of all ages and genders made it look like the entire family was evacuating.”
“Hmm.”
Even in Tang Myeong-shin’s opinion, it was definitely suspicious. There seemed to be a few people who were just merchants with outstanding military achievements, and there were many people who resembled each other as if they were blood relatives. At least it didn’t seem like they were people who lived nearby. Traces of a long journey that could not be hidden were visible in clothes and luggage.
“Where are you guys going?”
“…I have already told my subordinates repeatedly that I was traveling uphill as the chief. On the contrary, I would like to ask from this side. Why did you stop the passage? And that is also near Kunlun Mountain here by party members.”
The old man said with an aggrieved expression.
‘Why is he here!’
The old man, Hyeonyangmunju Nam Jin-sun, was dumbfounded. She once ran the upper level in Chengdu, so she recognized at a glance that the person she was speaking to was Tang Myeong-shin, the elder of the Tang family. His title was the same, and he could be inferred from the fact that everyone used poison and memorization. If you go a little further, you will reach Xinjiang, the territory of the Heavenly Demon Church, but you are caught by a person from the Tang family at the end of Cheonghae, not even Sichuan.
‘There was a battle. ‘And quite violently!’
Nam Jin-soon quickly looked at the bodies piled on one side. He was surrounded by people wearing black military uniforms and people wearing Tang family military uniforms. It seemed like an unidentified force and party warriors clashed. There were quite a few dead people holding swords, but surprisingly, most of them were wearing Tang family military uniform. What was even more surprising was that their cause of death seemed to be due to memorization or poison.
‘Is it mutually exclusive?’
There was no time to think about the question “Why?” Because Tang Mingxin recognized him.
“Why did you look familiar to me? Aren’t you the owner of the Hyeonyang Sangdan?”
“You obviously used a male family name. I vaguely remember it. Yes, I heard that he sold off all his family assets and committed himself to the Black Death.”
“If it is Hyeonyang Sangdan, I know it to be the predecessor of Hyeonyangmun Gate near Seongdo. Nam Jin-sun, who was the head of Hyeonyang Sangdan, laid out the foundation of the Sangdan as his uncle said, offered it as a tribute, and received martial arts from the Lord of the Heuksa Ryeonju. I remember it as the name, and based on that, the place where Hyeonyangmun was established is Hyeonyangchon.”
When Tang Myeong-shin came up with a few clues that could help guess the old man’s identity, Tang Ji-hyeok quickly recited the history. As the head of the armed forces, he was once the leader of the King of Poisons and naturally had intimate knowledge of the forces of Sichuan.
In the end, Nam Jin-soon had no choice but to admit it.
“…That’s right. I am none other than Nam Jin-soon.”
“The term ‘merchant’ wasn’t entirely wrong. It may not have been an upward flight, though. Then, Hyeonyangmunju Nam Jin-soon – why did you try to fall for the police chief? “In this situation where Demonic Cultivation and Kunlun are engaged in a great battle.”
“What is that…?”
Nam Jin-soon was greatly surprised by Tang Myeong-sin’s interrogation and asked back. A Bangpa war out of nowhere?
Cheonghae, especially the southwest area where Kunlun is located, is extremely barren. It wasn’t that people didn’t live at all, but it wasn’t easy to find a decent village where many people lived together. Since Nam Jin-sun’s family had been moving around and staying overnight ever since they left Sacheon, the Bangpa battle between Ma Jiao and Kunlun was something I had never heard of before.
“I guess you didn’t know. That’s why we captured you. As you can see, there are quite a few demon cultists coming down from Xinjiang in this direction. People who don’t know the situation may end up in trouble if they pass over to the police chief for no reason. Also, there may be people who head to Xinjiang with some purpose.”
Tang Myeong-shin looked at Nam Jin-sun with meaningful eyes. As if he could see clearly that he was on his way to the Demonic Cult.
“Hyeonyangmunju Nam Jin-sun”
Tang Mingxin spoke in a low voice.
“You are a member of the Black Death League. You obviously have no connection to the chief or Xinjiang. What made you go this far? Please make it up to you quickly. This is where being polite ends.”
“It looks like you need some stimulation.”
Tang Myeong-shin winked at one of the Geonjeongdae warriors. Take out the woman with her head down behind her. After receiving her instructions, Geonjeongdae Muin grabbed the woman’s arm and roughly dragged her away.
“Ah, father…”
A woman being dragged out helplessly. Apparently, she was Nam Jin-sun’s daughter. There was a reason why Tang Myeong-shin chose her among those who appeared to be Nam Jin-soon’s family. Although she wasn’t full-term, she was quite full. At that rate, it would have been about five or six months since he took office.
“What are you doing, you bastards!”
A roar burst from Nam Jin-soon’s mouth. But there was nothing he could do. This is because he was already addicted to the poison of Sangong and had difficulty gathering internal strength. Unable to use the true energy he had built up through the Great Power Mind Technique, he was just an old man with diminished energy.
Tang Mingxin said with a cold expression.
“If you don’t report this right now, I will end the lives of your grandchildren before they are even born. I don’t know if you know this, but if you use poison, it only kills the fetus.
It is also possible. After all, you are part of the Black Death Alliance, so even if you kill them all on the spot, there will be no going back.”
“How could you do something so outrageous…!”
Nam Jin-soon gritted his teeth and glared at Tang Myeong-shin. If possible, she didn’t want to talk about her story. The opponent says he is in decline, but isn’t he from a deep-rooted samurai family? The reason he came here was probably to help Kunlun, who is in the middle of a war against the Heavenly Demon Church.
That being said, his second son-in-law, Yeon Woo-jung, was actually a member of the Heavenly Demon Church – that fact itself could have been a weakness.
However, that didn’t mean I could ignore my daughter and grandchildren. It wasn’t just because they were his own flesh and blood.
“You keep your head up until the end.”
It is now – Tang Myeong-shin said and gestured. It meant killing the child the woman was carrying. She questioned Hyeonyang Munju and Nam Jin-sun because she had a hunch that she was hiding something, but since she showed no sign of opening her mouth at all, she was just going to kill them all. Originally, Tang Mingxin was not the type of person with a lot of patience, and he also thought that the secrets hidden by people like Hyeonyangmun would be great.
Tang Myeong-sin gave up his regrets and when the military officer of Geonjeongdae took out a bottle of poison and tried to feed it to the woman, Nam Jin-sun urgently shouted.
“stop! “Do you know who you are trying to harm now?”
“The blood of the Nam family is amazing. Hurry up and kill him.”
Tang Mingxin smiled and gestured again. Then the unmanned Geonjeongdae moves again. He opens the woman’s mouth and puts a bottle of poison in it. The woman’s blood pressure had already been suppressed and her movements were restricted. She could only stare helplessly at the bottle of poison that was about to tilt into her eyes filled with fear.
In the end, Nam Jin-soon had no choice but to spit out the truth.
“The child conceived is the blood of a heavenly demon.”

Yeon Myeong was having a leisurely day for the first time in a long time.
Work was in full swing, such as repairing the broken pavilion, re-establishing the Zhuge family’s camp, and disposing of the wealth obtained from the treasure trove of the Heuksa Lian and converting it into money, but as a member of the Xiao family, there was nothing to do directly. .
Thanks to this, I was able to meet and spend time with my mother, Dang Ji-hye, Dang Won-jin and other members of the Bong Guard, close friends of the seven generations of competition, and Dang Miso.
The battle with Heuksaryeon changed many things in the Tang family.
There were originally various factions within the party. People who followed the previous head of the family, people who were connected to the Presbyterian Church, old confidants of the current head of the family, Tang Ji-hye, and people who, regardless of him, followed the natural name of the head of the small family. And even to Zhuge Family.
They all risked annihilation and fought shoulder to shoulder against the Black Silhouette. There were many people I could safely call comrades in arms. By saving his life or being saved.
Contributing to the fight was not just about engaging in direct combat. The field leaders stayed up all night memorizing the war, and even at Uigak, they continued to manufacture poison to be used in battle. Also, thanks to Zhuge family’s formation, the people in the inner circle were safe, and the armed forces in the outer circle were able to engage in battle with peace of mind.
At first, there were some who were displeased with the Zhuge family being subordinated to the Tang family, but now there were no such people at all. They felt a sense of kinship with him as they risked their lives to protect their family.
As a result, the solidarity between members was bound to become special.
Also, what was Gaju Dang Ji-hye like?
She proved that she was worthy of becoming the head of the family by exposing Hwa-kyung’s inaction. It survived the combined efforts of the four apostles and six gods without collapsing. In order to reduce Gasol’s sacrifice even a little, he came to the forefront and wielded his strength from the beginning. Those who were impressed by her wisdom began to follow her with all their heart.
And what was more shocking than anything else was the inaction of Yeon-myeong of Sogaju. In the first place, it was surprising that he killed Sang Myeong-il, the Guhwan school swordsman who had reached the point of death in the Sacheon branch, and that he killed all the Sa Sect warriors, as many as clouds, who had gathered there, but it turned out that he even killed Yu Gil-jun, the Black Sagittarius. When Gasol found out about this, they were all shocked.

The thing that brought down the giant who was said to be the supreme king of Sichuan was their own small family, which was not even under contract!
The confidence that the family’s status would soon be restored spread throughout the family. Of course, it would take some time. Sega is something that people in the world should recognize and call us.
In any case, as such confidence spread, the feeling of defeat that had been unknowingly encroaching on the Tang family’s followers, who had been oppressed by the black evil, completely disappeared. Gasols, newly armed with pride and independent thinking, began to strive to become figures worthy of the family without anyone encouraging them.
And is it because of that atmosphere?
Before I knew it, Zhuge Yingying also looked quite different and devoted himself to training…
